I have an 77 440-1 in an 68 superbee. When rpm's are high smoke comes out of the breather cap. My oil pressure is 80 psi cold 40 hot could this be why? To much.

Are you running a PCV valve to scavenge the crankcase?.....is it working?......or plugged?, is it connected to the base port on the carb base?



I'd look there first

I agree, sounds like the pcv valve isnt there or not working properly. How new is the engine? Could be blow by if its got alot of miles on it.
